Can expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty last a lifetime?

Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty is a relatively common rhinoplasty surgery. Although the technology is very mature, in our traditional concept, any surgery will definitely have more or less harm, and the materials required for rhinoplasty are generally not permanent. Therefore, many people will ask whether expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty can last a lifetime? In fact, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty is a new type of material that can last a lifetime from a medical point of view.

1. The materials used in expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty are most compatible with the human body, are non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, non-allergenic, and do not need to be replaced throughout life.

2. The expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (EPPE) material used in expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty is a new type of material. From a medical point of view, the material used in expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty is currently the most ideal substitute for biological tissue. In terms of prostheses, poor quality silicone will easily calcify and become hard over time, while expanded materials will not deteriorate at all.

Based on the above two characteristics of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene, the answer given by experts is of course permanent. The texture and feel of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty materials are very close to normal nasal tissue, and it is light in weight and has no feeling of falling. The surgery results in a natural and beautiful appearance. Moreover, because it has a special microporous structure, the body's tissue cells and blood vessels can grow into it to form tissue connections, which are as perfect as autologous tissue. It does not move or deform, and is completely integrated with the nasal tissue, making it difficult to be noticed.

From a medical point of view, the material used in expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty is currently the most ideal substitute for biological tissue. The texture and feel of the expanded material are very close to normal nasal tissue. The expanded material does not move or deform, and can be seamlessly integrated with the nasal tissue. It does not have the "transparency" of silicone prostheses. It is also light in weight, has no feeling of falling, and is unlikely to penetrate the skin. Therefore, regarding the question of how long expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty can last, Korean plastic surgery experts said that the materials used in the surgery are most compatible with the human body, are non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, non-allergenic, and do not need to be replaced throughout life. Generally speaking, as long as proper care and maintenance are provided, the postoperative effect of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty can be permanent.

What to do if expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty fails? According to experts, the best time to repair a failed expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty is generally within one week or three months after the operation. Before performing expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty repair, first check the damage caused by the failed operation, observe the shape of the nose of the person being repaired, and find out the cause of the nose defect caused by the operation. A reasonable rhinoplasty repair plan is designed based on the patient's nasal problems.

The basic process of repairing a failed expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty is to first remove the original expanded polytetrafluoroethylene. If conditions permit, a better expanded polytetrafluoroethylene or other material can be immediately placed to correct the original deficiency. Alternatively, the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene can be removed first, and then the rhinoplasty surgery can be performed again after recovery. What to do if expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty fails? When performing a repair surgery on a failed expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty, the original expanded polytetrafluoroethylene must be removed first. Before implanting new materials, in order to make the prosthesis sufficiently deep, a new tunnel must be made on the deep surface of the original tunnel. Because there are scars from the first operation, there may be more bleeding during the second operation. Therefore, a second rhinoplasty is performed 3 months after recovery after the operation.

When performing repair surgery, aseptic techniques must be strictly followed, and the doctor should accurately and skillfully implant the prosthesis into the nasal cavity of the patient being repaired. After rhinoplasty repair surgery, you must pay attention to disinfect the wound, avoid wound infection, and be careful not to let the prosthesis shift.
